I created all of the FactoryTalk View ME Alarm Messages to be embedded strings that point back to the string data array in the ControlLogix 5000 PLC /*S:0 {[MAIN-150]ALARMS_NAME_STRING[0]}*/ this array goes from 0 to 500. This works great while under normal operations, and a new alarm event comes in, the string is read, and the appropriate alarm string is displayed.When you have a power outage or an upset condition the existing alarms that are already present. The strings are not read, and the Panelview merely displays ?????????? for each of the alarms, as the string has not been read. But any new alarms that come in show the string text.
This is on a PanelView plus 1500Is there a fix for this
Thanks
